On April 26, we held the vote count for the ratification of our agreement with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The agreement was ratified unanimously by a vote of 299-0, with more than half the membership participating. This is a great step forward for family child care providers. Now we need to make sure the legislature passes a budget that funds these improvements!

HARRISBURG, Pa. — Child care providers are pushing Pennsylvania General Assembly legislators to create more opportunities for children and are demanding dignity and respect for the work they do.
